The ride is already happening. The seat is the only thing going to waste.

A company-paid airport transfer is booked, paid and on its way whether it carries one person or four. The employer, client or conference has already covered the fare.

An empty seat on that ride costs nothing extra. Because the pickup and the destination stay exactly as booked, there is no detour, no extra stop and nothing for the business traveller to justify on an expense report.

Nobody pays cash to tag along. The rider uses Ride Credits, and the traveller who opened the seat earns Ride Credits toward a private ride of their own later.

Matching is built around speed, not just direction. Same flight or train, same exit speed (cabin luggage only or waiting for the belt, immigration queue or not) and the same destination area — so nobody stands at arrivals wondering where the other person is.

The alternative is usually a train, a change and a walk with luggage. On the corridors below, that is what the shared seat replaces:

• JFK → Midtown Manhattan55 min by car vs 100 min public transport — 45 min saved. AirTrain, then subway with luggage and one change.
• MXP → Rho Fiera & city centre50 min by car vs 95 min public transport — 45 min saved. Malpensa Express, then metro across town.
• CDG → La Défense45 min by car vs 85 min public transport — 40 min saved. RER B to Châtelet, then RER A westbound.
• FRA → Messe & banking district25 min by car vs 50 min public transport — 25 min saved. S-Bahn, then a change at Hauptbahnhof.

Profiles carry a verified company email, a professional category, mutual connections and the social links people choose to add. That is enough to decide whether you want to share a car with someone.

What it never shows is your home or office address, your raw ID document or your contact list. Verification is a trust signal, not a background check, and no ride is ever compulsory.

Two travellers landing on the same flight and heading to the same district would normally take two cars over the same road. Sharing the seat removes the second one — that is the whole environmental claim, and it is deliberately modest.

We do not publish a CO₂ figure yet. The corridor times and fares above are indicative benchmarks for typical routes, not live quotes, and a real impact counter will appear here once there is real ride data behind it.
